The Thing About Arsenal

The big summer block is approaching and Arsenal currently have 11 players who could be out of contract. Today, Laura, Lucy and Rory are stepping into Renee Slegers' shoes to decide which players make it through to judges' houses and who gets sent packing to London City Lionesses.

Plus, we share our dream transfer targets and decide where to build Manu Zinsberger's commemorative bench.

Today's title is a real quote from a Greek philosopher who was also an Arsenal fan, by the way. Title race in circa 56 BC.

Laura, Jim and Lucy gather to do the only logical thing at a time like this: talk about Samir Nasri's Deliveroo orders in 2022. They also discuss some game that happened on Saturday and another one that happened on Sunday involving two teams in blue kits, one of which caused Lucy to swear at a child.

Plus, we look ahead to Sporting and what it could mean for the biggest week of our season (again).

Sam's stranded on an island. Jonny's trying to give up cigarettes. And then Arsenal go and do that.

We process one of the lowest points of the season as the April slide continues. Jonny points out his worries from the moment the lineup was named, while Sam is baffled by just how much this team looks like it's going backwards under Mikel Arteta – summed up by Martín Zubimendi's nervous performance.

The Premier League is back! Laura, Jim and Luke look ahead to a tough challenge against Bournemouth and try to get their heads around the rampant injury rumour mill, not helped by Mikel Arteta's secret training pitch in a bunker somewhere in Colney. Reports unconfirmed on that. Source: Kuke Lempner.

Elsewhere, our feelings after reports that the club will hear offers for Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly. Do we need to drive a hard bargain on academy players, or cherish homegrown stars like them? We also reflect on the career of a true legend after Aaron Ramsey announces his retirement and what he meant to Arsenal fans during a turbulent time in the club's history, where true legends were few and far between.

Well, who cares if we were falling asleep halfway through the second half and we struggled to break Sporting down, WHAT a result that was!

Luke and Jim jump on after a classy Kai Havertz goal capped off what was a cagey but controlled performance. We recap another imperious David Raya showing, an impressive return from Martin Ødegaard and some tentative moments from a few others - but shake off those nerves, because we got the win!
